OutReach – 1 September 2021 – HKT’s loyalty program and digital ventures arm – The Club and
Citibank Hong Kong jointly announce the launch of their Points Conversion Program.
Enabled by open Application
Programming Interface (API), the program allows eligible Citi credit
cardholders to convert Citi Points to Clubpoints through The Club’s platform, bringing
more convenience and flexibility to cardholders’ daily spending and drawing both
HKT and Citibank one step closer to consumers’ flexible and autonomous digital
lifestyle. During the
promotion period, The Club members can earn a total of up to 20,000 extra Clubpoints
through the Points Conversion Program.
Mr. Alan Tsui, CEO of HKT’s Loyalty, Digital
and Analytics division said, “I am excited to collaborate with Citibank to introduce this Points Conversion
Program enabling Citibank’s customers to have an elevated experience of The Club’s
unparalleled rewards from smartphones to flight tickets. This marks another
milestone in The Club’s efforts to expand our loyalty and digital ecosystem
following our points transfer partnership with a renowned loyalty program from
the hospitality industry earlier this year. We are constantly exploring new
collaborations with partners from different industries to bring exciting
experiences and flexible rewards for The Club members.”
Mr. Lawrence Li, Head of Cards and Unsecured
Lending of Citibank Hong Kong said, “Citibank Hong Kong has always been dedicated
to pushing forward the momentum of open API development. Ever since we became the first bank in Hong Kong to
launch an open API platform in 2017, we have been utilizing API technology
extensively to elevate clients’ digital experience. In recent years,
telecommunications services, mobile banking, and a seamless online-to-offline
(O2O) consumption experience have become an indispensable part of consumers’
daily lives. By collaborating with HKT, one of the city’s major
telecommunications service providers, we hope to expand the reach of our
API-enabled points conversion program to HKT’s digital ventures arm, The Club, to
widen both of our clients’ consumption networks and
further enhance their digital experience in dining, shopping, entertainment and
travelling while offering them all kinds of rewards at the same time. This
strategic partnership also brings new opportunities to deepen our existing
client relationships, and we look forward to collaborating with HKT further and
exploring the application of digital technologies to more areas.”
